Twenty plus questions with....

After following so many wonderful sewing and craft blogs during the last decade (or so) I have often wondered about the who/what/when/where and why of various peoples sewing/crafting journeys. Often when reading someone's blog there is a running list of questions in my head that have made me think "If only I could ask them....?".
Finally I have bitten the bullet and decided to start a new (semi) regular feature here on Kate Sews:

 "Twenty plus questions with..." a series of interviews with people from the crafting /sewing blogosphere.

Already I have three of my favorite bloggers/sewists lined up for interviews, but if you would like to be interviewed - or have a blogger you would like interviewed- please drop me a email at kate@katesews.com.

First interview will be posting soon!

Til then happy sewing :)

Kreativ Blogger

Belinda from Sew-4-Fun nominated me for a Kreative Blogger award! Thanks so much Belinda I am totally in awe that someone with such a fantastic blog and wealth of sewing knowledge would even think of me :)

The rules for the Kreativ Blogger award are fairly simple:

1. Copy the award to your site
2. Link to the person from whom you received the award

3. Nominate 7 other bloggers

4. Link to those on your blog

5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominated.

It's hard to pick only 7 blogs as there are soo many good ones out there (and the number is increasing all the time), especially when it comes to sewing!

So without further ado, and in no particular order, here is my list of nominees (drum roll please...):

Katherine from Bloom's Fabric Obsession - a fellow Australian who drafts alot of her own patterns and has a yummy taste in fabric . I also discovered http://www.patternschool.com/ thanks to Katherine's blog- an excellent free resource!

Stacy from Stacy Sews : Diary Of A Fabric Junkie the first sewing blog I ever started reading. Stacy's blog convinced me that is was possible to make stylish and fashionable garments at home :)

Tany from Couture et Tricot - if I could sew half as well as Tany, or create at the rate she does I would be one very happy blogger! Not only that but Tany knits like a dream too...

Vicki from Hongkongshopper who has made some seriously cute stuff! I always look forward to reading her reviews on http://www.sewing.patternreview.com/ .

Melissa from Fehr Trade who made the ace-est dress ever, out of an Ikea shower curtain, for the Glastonbury Festival and lives on a houseboat (how cool is that?). I love Melissa's alternative sourcing for garment materials :)

Jenny of Chronically Uncool from Illionois. Check out the amazing Tetris print fabric - I can't wait to see what Jenny will makes from it !

Mimi of Myraida - who has created a seriously sumptuous wardrobe!

Happy sewing/blogging/creating everyone :)
